I have walked that path. . .
When I arrived at our district, we didnt' have a website. . . Regular DOS attacks on our internal router, and everyone had hotmail accounts.
Zimbra has been wonderful. A few staff members have used the outlook client, and have found the Zimbra web UI very useful.
Probably the best thing about it, is not a single cent goes to M$.
And e-mail I received from a staff member:

John,
I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how pleased we are to have you. I have heard many staff members remark at how much you have accomplished in such a short amount of time.
We love the e-mail and keep up the good work!
Cathy
